Unusual flavors. All are very good. It's a small stand right in the Student Union Building. You should stop by if you're on campus.

Maryland Dairy has been serving ice cream on the University of Maryland for 100 years. Formerly located in the Turner Building, its name has been simplified, and it is now conveniently and logically located in the food court of the Stamp Student Union. We were planning to have lunch after leaving campus, but we had to have ice cream first! The colors and names of the choices were attractive. The purple was actually blueberry with vanilla cookie pieces and cream cheese icing swirl. It was named after W.S. Arbuckle, a former university professor and author of a definitive book on ice cream. We also tried Terpresso, a double strength coffee ice cream with crushed Oreos and a caramel swirl named after the Terps or Terrapins sports teams. The Sapienza, which we were told is the customer favorite, was a creamy, rich vanilla bean ice cream with chocolate chips and chunks of chocolate fudge brownie, a smooth chocolate swirl, and creme de cacao. In recognition of Jim Henson, a prominent alumnus, and his Muppets the green mint ice cream with chocolate chips was named Kermit’s Kiss. I only regret not bringing an insulated bag so I could take home some pints from the freezer.

I've heard good things about Maryland Dairy, and it didn't disappoint - the ice cream is really good. I tried the 1856 (strawberry with sponge cake) and sapienza (vanilla with chocolate chips, brownie, chocolate swirl, etc.). Both were super yummy. The price point is also reasonable at $3.99 for a scoop, and that much definitely fills you up. Service is nothing to rave about - just your typical college ice cream shop. Maryland Dairy is located inside the Stamp student union building at UMD. Would definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area or visiting campus!

Excellent ice cream and even better service. Kevin was super nice and passionate about the ice cream, which comes in a variety of creamy flavors with generous mix ins. A must have in STAMP and a place that is a special part of the Maryland campus.

this is only based on first impressionsthey are really tiny and hidden in the back of the food court. there's a decent selection of flavors. However, as someone with a peanut allergy I was very disappointed. I was given a chart saying the only flavors without peanuts were vanilla, and strawberry. Bro it said plain chocolate had peanut problems!!! the staff acted like they didn't know how to accommodate a peanut allergy. The vanilla I got tasted bland and my cake cone wasn't firm enough to hold the ice cream. I'm going to umd for undergrad so I'll give y'all another chance

I needed a little afternoon pick-me-up, and spotted this place inside the student center. Since ice cream is my favorite dessert to exist, I knew I had to stop by for a scoop. The shop is quite small so you really just order and leave, but there's plenty of seating in the area outside. We got a scoop of the mint chocolate chip. The single scoop was huge! Definitely could qualify as a double in other places. The ice cream itself was really thick, smooth, and creamy. I loved the texture and flavor, and there were also plenty of chocolate chips mixed within. So good, and friendly employees too!

Great staff always nice and friendly. Ice cream selection much better than your regular ice cream shop! Lory’s legacy is one of the best chocolate ice cream you can have so give that a try if you’re a chocolate enthusiast like me

The free mint ice cream is delicious!

Very good ice cream with great innovative mix-ins filled ice creams, generous serving sizes , ample toppings and low prices ($6 for two large scoops). New UMD students get a free scoop. They also have regular flavors and a few vegan options.They also sell milkshakes (3-scoop), sundaes and have pints/quarts and gallon sized containers for sale. It is located inside the Stamp building. Strongly recommend.I got the 1856 (strawberry with vanilla sponge cake, incredible) and Lori's legacy (double chocolate with ganache, also incredible).
This location is inside a food court at the Student Center building at University of Maryland. The logistics of coming here not as a student already on campus are a lot tougher than we had prepared for. We ended up leaving the car idling by the main entrance, which I'm very sure we shouldn't have done. We consulted the directory and realized the place was downstairs and way down on the other end of the building. They make their own ice cream, and their flavor selection was a lot better than what they had listed online. The only problem was that they had recently restocked a number of their flavors, including my first two choices. If you see the cap still covering a flavor, it means the drum is still too frozen for them to scoop. The ice cream we got was delicious, and reasonably priced. Great place to go once you figure out getting there.

My friend and I were just checking out the UMD campus and stumbled across Maryland Dairy since we were craving something sweet after walking around. I gotta say, having an ice cream shop that's affordable in the student union is pretty nice. We both shared a scoop of the "Fear the Turtle" flavor. It's pretty delicious and for a huge scoop, it was only about $3.50 after tax! The ice cream wasn't too sweet and I could taste the caramel and chocolate swirls easily. Additionally, the pecans are a nice touch. This scoop of ice cream was basically "Butter Pecan". Overall, I'd recommend trying this flavor if you're interested in something nutty!

Freshly made ice cream straight from the cows at an accredited university? YES PLEASE! Ice cream is my weakness, but good ice cream is hard to come by. Maryland Dairy at UMD produces fine quality ice cream products sourced locally from their own cows. How many colleges or places can say that? It's additionally student run; it's a whole community here and everyone is helping each other out. College students work while providing top notch ice cream where we know how the cows are treated and raised. Not to mention, the texture is something I'm big on with ice cream. I normally prefer gelato due to its thick consistency, but Maryland Dairy doesn't skimp. Their flavor/topping choices and consistency is incredible. Pros is you can purchase pints plus they have a stall at their football games (less flavor options there but still, OH YES YUM!) I prefer the flavors, "Fear the Turtle" and "Terpresso" I have to try more. Keep up the good work, I'll be back for more soon!
